Luggate residents are being asked to boil their water until further notice, following routine testing of the Luggate water supply identified a low level presence of e-coli on Christmas Day.
The supply was immediately treated with chlorine and the community issued with a boil water notice, Queenstown Lakes District Council communications manager Meaghan Miller said yesterday.
Although the supply has now been treated, the precautionary boil water notice will remain in place until further test results have been confirmed.
The notice is expected to be in place for a minimum of three days.
Further updates can be obtained by phoning the council or on the website www.qldc.govt.nz.
Council offices reopen in Wanaka and Queenstown on January 5.
